Rumor – Crytek’s Ryse slated for next-gen Xbox console

Crytek’s Kinect action title Ryse is rumored to be releasing on the next iteration of the Xbox console, missing the 360 all together.

The rumor stems from a LinkedIn profile belonging to the game’s senior level designer who left Crytek for Ubisoft. The game is listed on her profile as an “X-Box Next Gen” project.”

Further fuel to the rumor was added by a NeoGAF user who, while attending a CryEngine 3 student lecture, overheard a Crytek representative state there was a “big chance of Ryse going next gen because of all the work they had to do and all the people they are hiring for the Ryse team.”

Crytek’s Ryse: Son of Rome is making its way to PC, and as it makes its journey to PC players around the world, it’s shedding its implementation of microtransactions in lieu of adding four additional DLC packs that could previously have been purchased on the Xbox One version.
